Absolutely wipes my hard pushed 3700 off the floor.

I'm probably not going to use the retail cooler... so I'll have to research some good ones...

What motherboard are you using?

MSI PowerUp 975X looks like my choice at the mo...

leon4112 · 4 Aug 2006 at 13:24

I highly recommend getting the Scythe Ninja with the Scythe S-Flex 1600RPM fan. Brilliant Performance! Will cost the best part of £50.

leon4112 · 4 Aug 2006 at 13:25

yeah im going for the ninja seems like everyone recommends it here must be for a good reason

lol! I bought the X6800 and went straight into -£400 overdraft

Its all good though!

can you exchange for a new mobo, if your mobo is bust

eg a new model not just the bad axe?

leon4112 · 4 Aug 2006 at 13:28

hehehehe good man mine was a credit card job but i sold my old rig for 400 which near enough coverd my upgrade

Talbs13 · 4 Aug 2006 at 13:31

I spent about £500 on my credit card a week before, i bought new Dell 20" 2007 WFP

I dont see why not, just tell them it seems incompatible with your PSU.

If you have had the mobo under 7 days you can return it under the distance selling act even if it worked fine.

If oyur not looking to overlock your E6600 over 3.6Ghz then the Gigabyes DS3,4 and 6 look good, if oyu want more than that the Asus is the way to go.

Credit Card sounds like a winner.

I'd have bought the bloody whole rig by now if it wasn't for my car

Spent 1K on it in the past week due to a service, new brakes, and then they found a fault with the inlet manifold that cost me £650 in parts and labour.

Goddamn cars!

leon4112 · 4 Aug 2006 at 13:33

First time in 3 years of owning cars have I had a problem... Never mind eh?

Still, some retail therapy in the form of a shiny new rig will sort me out

Argh! My order has the status of being printed and waiting to be packed in the warehouse, but now it says it hasnt been printed!
Could this be because I also ordered an item that was on last weeks (i.e. ending yesterday) offers? (namely the x1900xt) Because if I load up my shopping cart now, it says that that item is no longer identifiable as an item they stock.

dafloppyone · 4 Aug 2006 at 13:42

the psu is compatible...the problem is I ordered the bad axe on june 30....so would I still be able to get an exchanged mobo or refund or do I have to wait on another bad axe coming in?
